Presentación

From understanding the behaviour of complex software to designing super-fast algorithms, mathematics is essential. A broad understanding of mathematics enables better and more efficient ways to be found to solve real world problems.

As technology advances, the demand for computer-literate mathematicians continues to grow. This course gives you a solid grounding in the methods of modern applied mathematics, with an emphasis on how they can be used in computing. Industry-standard programming packages are taught throughout the degree, alongside cutting-edge mathematical techniques.

Graduates of this degree find themselves able to apply for a plethora of jobs in industry, finance and governmental institutions, and education. You’ll will be encouraged to spend a year working in industry, giving you first-hand experience of the world of work. The course has also been developed to meet the educational requirement to become a Chartered Mathematician awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications – another great boost to your CV.
